I have seen a lot of talk about you brushing your teeth in the shower to save water and electricity lately. Thats good that your all about saving, but I'm not sure about one little thing.
The idea is obviously to save water, right? In order for this to really work you need to use less water than you would if you were brushing your teeth at the sink, right?
When I brush my teeth at the sink I probably use a total of 1-2 cups of water.
When I am in the shower I imagine that it takes about 1 second for a single cup of water to go down the drain.
So if I were to brush my teeth in the shower (in the name of saving water) it would only work if I brushed my teeth for a total of less than 1 second.
It seems like such simple common sense that I wouldn't be surprised if a thousand other people have said the same thing already.
So Jennifer, come on over sometime and I'll show you how to take a quick shower. It would only take about 20 seconds before I'd be done! You could use the remaining 2:40 to do whatever you wanted.

Well, you're right, that is a waste of water. Ummmm..Unless you're like me and can scrub your balls AND brush you teeth in the shower at the same time. Now that's conservation baby!
